Optional form fields which are deliberately left blank are filled by auto-fill

Reported by valentin...@gmail.com, Aug 11 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.90 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://web.archive.org/web/20140608072154/http://www.html5rocks.com:80/en/tutorials/forms/html5forms/input-types.html

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open example URL
2. Enter name, don't enter an email address
3. Let auto-fill provide a mobile phone number

What is the expected behavior?
Intuitively, I would expect Chromium to recognise that I don't want to enter an email address, and leave the field blank. Only fields below the active one should be modified. 

What went wrong?
Chromium enters the user's stored email address into a field above the one I am currently interacting with. On another webpage, this could be a field that is already scrolled out of view, thereby submitting the the user's email address without their knowledge. 

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? No 

Does this work in other browsers? No
 Probably not just a Chromium issue, but I suppose that's irrelevant here

Chrome version: 60.0.3112.90  Channel: stable
OS Version: 17.04
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 26.0 r0

valentin.huebner@ could you confirm whether this is a feature request or this functionality used to work in earlier chrome versions?
